What do you all think of this 1917 standing liberty quarter. Looks too good to me. I don't think it is fake but maybe dipped? Or maybe not. What do you think?

Detail are pretty mushy, I say it's not US Mint made.
Not my series by any means however,

vegas, baby!
Not my series either but I think it's a legit US coin... that said, its definitely a "mushy" strike for a 1917 SLQ T1 and the breaks in peripheral toning may indicate a past cleaning. When I was looking at them for my 7070, finding FH samples wasn't that hard...

Legit, hard to offer grade guesstimates through a holder though.
I was not worried If it was legit. More If it was dipped / cleaned. Shame if it was, it really has most of its detial. A coin of that age should show even a tiny bit of aging or toning.
cleaned
It looks like its a mostly mark-free full-head (even full b***) specimen, so the damage from the harsh cleaning is especially sad
Yes it is. Different note, this a 1916?
It is not. You can tell by the shape of the head. The 1916 looks like the 1917 (with the point coming off the back of the head)
I am a newer collector (started April 2020), and I primarily focus on U.S. Half Cents and Type Coins. Early copper is my favorite.
They didn't make 1916-s quarters
thats the rare 1916, its a 7+
I know I know. I accidentally posted the wrong photo. This was the correct one but I am sure it not either but the head looked like it might. Sorry not the best photo but when there are 50, it's hard to get a clear one
Genuine, but harshly cleaned

Dipped a time or two, but not too bad.

Looks to be a 1917. gown fold at bottom is wrong and the head is below the denticles/beads at top.
On the 1916 it goes through them, thus:

Pass. This is an easy coin to find a nice certified example of.
Dipping does not matter on the grade. Lovely toning can make the grade go up.
The 1917 is a dipped AU, but if that floats your boat then go for it.

Yes it can. Thousands of Details slabs show that.
Real, but clearly dipped. Move on.

Move on. My questions/concerns are not be adequately addressed by the images provided
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
I would stay clear of that particular coin. It appears to be problematic. That and the details are horrible. Buy yourself a nice PCGS graded one.
Sorry, if you dip a problem free coin, it grades just fine. John stickers them all the time also. You do remember that is how they looked when they left the mint right? (Not to mention you can pay PCGS and NGC to dip them for you!)
If you carefully and sparingly dip a "problem free coin", it will probably "grade just fine". But there's a lot of coins out there in "details" holders where an owner did not exercise the care/restraint/discretion necessary. So a general statement of "dipping does not matter on the grade" is at least misleading
Believe what you want. Based on thousands of first hand examples, they grade just fine. If they don't, there was an underlying problem. I am not talking about leaving it in the eZest for hours. Cheers!
The subject coin is genuine and has nice details.
But it appears to have been mildly polished.
Maybe the coin was whizzed? Definitely cleaned…I agree with the other posters, you can find a nicer coin somewhere else for sure
Your comment actually agrees with his. You admit that overdipping is possible (eZest for hours). That's all he was saying.
